?

Should the first amendment be respected on website?

  1. No, cause feelings are more important than rights

  2. Yes, cause I like uncontrolled discourse

Results are only viewable after voting.
  1. Actually server is on Amazon so US law by all means applies here.

    I am well prepared to represent my country.
    It is the people after all that make it what it is.


    See I never said you are wrong, it goes back to like how people would say that, "You can't judge a movie cause you've never made one!"

    It is important to judge and criticize, but honestly when you hear someone criticize a movie cause it had good or bad wrtting, the actors being shoehorned or terrible, the pacing being mediocre. You feel that they have valid reasons versus those who'd cry, "the movie is gay and it didn't have enough special effects."

    Like when you go out of your way to complain about petty things, that to me is just simply ignorable. If a lot of people do it, I wouldn't be surprised if it is an excuse to collectively ignore a community over a few loud annoying incoherent people.

    When like the devs of some games *cough* SOE *cough* have their heads so far up their own a- butts they refuse to listen to the community as it is. SOE now Daybreak ran to reddit and never used their own forums. They wanted a hugbox where they could hide from criticism and not listen to the real problems of their game.

    This was unheard of to me, to see a dev team consisting of just the worst people to ever work on a game and go out of their way to shun their own community who gave them better ideas and solved a lot of their problems for them.


    The end of the day is:
    Planetside 2 is still going, Hirez is still making money, and plenty of other awful products and businesses are still going.
    Not once did they wince over the loss of a single or a thousand customers.

    Comcept didn't wince over hundreds removing their backing of their terrible game and EA after winning the golden turd award for 3 years (I think it was?) still believes they respect their gamer consumers by charging them 60 dollars for a hollow game that comes with a built in cashshop with 140 dollars worth of DLC to make it feel like a complete game.

    TL;DR
    It is important to have direction in your complaints or else you'll gather nobody's sympathy and no one will care for your whining.

    Criticize, but reasonably.
    Yes you have a wallet, everyone has one and sadly that reasoning is overshadowed by the fact that a majority overwrite your wallet's power to sway the developers.

    If you want a refund, get one. The earth won't stop, no one will skip a heartbeat. I respect that logic, but it doesn't work today and most companies know this. That is why they invest a lot into marketing and not so much into a good product.

    I agree on your view on the game. But I don't see how the First Amendment might apply to a 3rd party Internet forum. We're not in the US, neither in any other country, when in here.

    that is not the point: the important part is a forum is not a pubblic place, is something private so you can't go inside an house and start do stuff that the house owner don't want. Not all part of a forum are visible or free access, some are other aren't, but don't mean that the open part are some pubblic billboard or a park. This is the someone house the someone property and private place, he must respect the law but if the owner want can kick all out and close the door or even close the entire site.

    if a guy open his internet site and write stuff on it if the goverment force the host(or the host it self decide to do that) to shout down the site, then we can start talk about censorship and freedom limitation.
